2x Xeon X5675 Folding question

Post by r0k0 »

Alright so im fairly new to folding and bought myself 2 HP towers, 1 HP Z800 Workstation ( 2x Xeon X5675 @ 3.47Ghz Turbo / 24GB Ram / Quadro K4000 ) and HP Z220 ( Xeon E3 1245 V2 / 16GB Ram / GTX 1060 6GB )

if i have 2 cpu's do i just let it run on 1 WU ? or make seperate cpu thing in the slot tab ?

also which is better for the moment at folding between these 3 spare Quadros i have ? K4000 / Quadro 4000 / Quadro 6000.. yes i know they are not strong but with the lock down i cannot buy any other gpus localy used

Because the Quick Return bonus so rewards quickness, doing 1 WU will yield the most points. Only if it can't use all 24 threads would break it into 2 12 thread slots.

The K4000 is a usable GPU.

The 4000 and 6000 by comparison are much older, I am betting at least 3 to 6 times slower than the K4000 . They are OpenCL 1.1 and may not work at all.

The GTX 1060 may be twice as fast as the K4000 and is newer than the others, Use the GTX 1060, then the Quadro K4000. I would not bother with the Quadro 6000 or 4000.

i only have a K4000, the others are older 4000 and 6000 that both came with both towers.

so is it better to let the both cpus to run 1 WU ?
